Parker was in the tolls of Maj. Pond, the
lecture-bureau man, and nobody seems to
know whether the monument will get
any money or not Mr.. Parker is

an alley only thirty feet wide. The factory
covered an acre or mora of ground, and was
filed with dry lumber and shavings The

PosToFFIcE RECOMMENDATIONS.

assistant postmaster general in his report
makes three important suggestions. The first
of these is that the postage on all sscond-class
matter shall be paid ty the attachment of
adhesive stamps, as is required for all other
matter, the denominations running from i
cent il the case of single piece 10 any re.
CURED amount for bulk matter
The second is that only legitimate newspa-
pers and periodicals be admitted to the see
ond- class rate Of postage In other words,
that certain books, which are in no sense
periodicals. except that they profess to be is
sued at regular periois-such as the numer-
Gus series libraries, etc, that are now flood
ing the mails-be admitted only at the third
class rate.
The third is that the number of sample
copies of second-clasS matter to be sent out
by publishers tie limited many periodicals
which under the law now gain admittauce
as second-clsss matter being enabled by the
privilege of mailing sample copies to defeat
the law excluding publications issued for ad-
